mrswalton Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hello! I got 3 ex bats in July and 2 of them are fully feathered now (and very beautiful ). The third, Aurora, is still pretty bald, in fact she's not grown a single new feather. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this could be? She actually had most feathers to start with. I'm worried she'll bfreezing now the weathers getting colder. Do you think I should get her a coat? Will try to attach pic. X zoe x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 **How to upload pics** The BHWT don't advocate the use of jumpers for ex-batts, unless the hen is immobile, as they get dirty and can cause accidents if they snag on a nail etc. More **here** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I bought one of these when Betty was very poorly over December time ( we had that cold spell), I wouldn't use it on a free range hen but it was find to use on her in the run and get her back on her feet again. http://www.happychicks.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/Happychicksshop/_857/-/EGGStra%20Snug%20Deluxe%20design%20HEN%20CHICKEN%20COAT%20JUMPER%20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswalton Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks for your replies I hadn't thought about the potential for injury. I just hope the colder weather stimulates some feather growth or she's going to be very chilly Littlebettybabs, I got my girls from happy chicks, they were lovely people X zoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
